Astoria’s Socrates Sculpture Park hosts this summer film series—co-sponsored by Film Forum and Rooftop Films—that focuses on independent and international cinema. The schedule features foreign-language (English-subtitled) films from France, India, Japan, Turkey and Italy. The movies play on the wide lawn of a beautiful green space with large-scale art installations. Bring a blanket.
